She recognized the need to create suitable garments for the environment in which she lived. She had an innate ability, enriched by the knowledge her mother passed on to her in sewing, knitting, and embroidery, as well as a natural instinct for understanding textiles.
She dreamed of opening a store in a tourist center and creating souvenirs that reflected the splendor of her country. An entrepreneur and visionary at heart, her greatest desire was to promote and transcend local craftsmanship beyond the Dominican Republic.
